BTW: Just looking at the contents of your JAR file then it looks like
this is the EE version of the Common Annotations. In that case you

the module-info.class in the top level directory and deploy it on the
upgrade module path.
Yes I know. Our requirement is to support both JDK8 and JDK9 with the
same jar.
Thus in my experiments I have javax classes compiled for JDK8 and
module-info.class for JDK9.
Multi-Release jar was my first attempt, when it failed I did what you
propose above Alan.
and did this work? In this case then I would expect the same JAR file
should just work on the upgrade module path with JDK 9 or via the
endorsed standard override mechanism with JDK 8. In the case of the
latter then the module-info.class will be ignored.
